Mint pollution kills 6,000 fish
The Royal Mint has been issued an enforcement notice after 6,000 fish were killed from pollution which was discharged from the plant.

Problems at the factory meant that "considerable quantities of chlorine" were released into the River Ely.
 

Within a 2km stretch of the river 6,000 fish were found dead, including 1,500 salmon, 650 trout and 3,200 bullheads.

The Mint in Llantrisant said it "very much regrets" the incident and has agreed to pay to restock the river.

The Environment Agency Wales served the enforcement notice on the plant on Monday.

It said that the level of pollution would normally lead to prosecution but that the Royal Mint was protected from such action by Crown Immunity.
